Go see the big bands of 2014 now

"If you like La Roux and Ellie Goulding, Chvrches are every bit as catchy, clever and danceable."

Temples

Huge, echoing drums, trippy harmonies and spiralling guitars create the Alice in Wonderland psychedelia that is Temples' sound. They've been threatening to break through for months and won gushing endorsements from Noel Gallagher. They'll blow-up in 2014.

Drenge

These Derbyshire-bred garage rockers have set the bar high for live performance. You might think that there's nowhere to go with the standard guitar/drums formula, but Drenge's Glastonbury show was so profound critics were quick to tout them as future headliners.

London electro duo Mount Kimbie make the sort of intelligent dance music that moves your feet and your mind when you watch them live. Their second album was released earlier this year so this could be your last chance to catch them in a relatively low-key venue like this.

Jagwa Ma

This Sydney-based duo are spearheading the baggy revival. Blending headspinning harmonies, taut basslines and danceable beats, their debut album, Howlin', won them critical acclaim earlier this year. Buy a bucket hat and some maracas - Happy Mondays' style is back!
